The Dusty Pearls Rockin' The Hollow



The Dusty Pearls
Im sure you all have heard by now that we had an absolutely divine evening at Tranquility Hollow with The Dusty Pearls! Full Feather Photography was coming out to take some promotional pictures of this effervescent duo so we decided to make an evening of it.  They brought out their equipment to serenade us into their lovely world of country/pop vocals and string pickin! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to be working with Mark and Shelly out at Tranquility Hollow. I am 100% sure that we will be seeing them at some of your events you put together out here! 
  So how I can describe the performance to you, you ask? Well, this wont do it justice but lets give it a go! If you are a fan of beautiful melodies, incredible vocal talent, a performance that makes you feel like youre not watching a band but watching two people who can read each other from a sideways glance from behind the mic. and smile like something happened that makes you want to re-wind because you might have missed something, and love how a band can engage the audience as if you are being given a key to their secret world; then they are truly the band for you! 
This was the first performance that I have heard live at Tranquility Hollow. I knew because of our location and surroundings that it was going to be a wonderful evening because the music could surround you and flow through the trees and clear country air, but this absolutely blew me away! There are now BIG shoes to fill for the next band that books at Tranquility Hollow!


Please enjoy this video that Bob put together of their performance that evening. Its a musical snack to give you just enough of a taste that it will leave you wanting more! The gorgeous photos from the evening were all captured by Full Feather Photography! We always enjoy working with Tara and her work never ceases to amaze us! Now sit back, enjoy the photos and listen to the The Dusty Pearls perform live at Tranquility Hollow!

Excellence Photo Booths



Excellence Photo Booths

Yesterday, I sat down with Jake Westerfield from Excellence Photo Booths! I got to know more about his company and all the fun things they have to offer! If you’re unfamiliar with the photo booth concept/craze think back to being at the mall or state fair with your family and friends and squishing together in those tiny booths and pulling the curtain so you can spend the next couple of minutes making the craziest faces you can possibly come up with! Well, Excellence Photo Booths has taken that concept and brought it into our digital era!


Jake and I walked around Tranquility Hollow, looking for possible options for their photo booth to be set up at your next event. (When I say “next event” the sky is the limit! They can do birthday parties, weddings, bar mitzvah’s, showers, etc) We definitely found a couple of spots on our property where they can set up and if you so choose, can even use our beautiful landscape as the “backdrop” for your photos! We then sat down, and looked through some pictures of events they have done and I asked him a few questions so I could share a little bit more about them with ya’ll!
Q&A With Jake:
Shelly: Do you offer vintage booths, digital or a combination of the two?
Jake: We offer digital photo booths with an 8 second print time!
(Fastest time in the biz)
Shelly: Can I get the photos from my event on a CD or online gallery?
Jake: Both! Here are the things that we can add to your package separately:
Social Media Kiosk:

This is an AWESOME new add-on they recently started doing AND they are the ONLY one in the state to offer this! Your pictures can be displayed on a separate kiosk station where you can immediately upload your photos to Facebook, Twitter or send them in an e-mail!
Slideshow on 32 inch LED TV
Memory Book
Double Prints
DVD of all pictures
Pick a favorite photo to be made into a 12x36 canvas gallery wrap
“Love letter” style branded USB containing all event photos
Shelly: Can I add a logo, artwork or text to the photos?
Jake: Absolutely! We can add a couples name & date of wedding, company logo etc. (See example photo)


Shelly: Do I have a choice of color or black and white photos?
Jake: We offer both!
Shelly: What kind of props do you have?
Jake: We have a large assortment of all different kinds of props! Fun hats, mustaches, feather boas, silly masks, glasses etc.
( I would suggest going to their website and checking out the online galleries to see some of the fun pictures they can get )
Shelly: What happens if our photo booth has a “problem” during the event?
Jake: We always have an attendant (or 2) at the event working the booth. Should anything happen we have back up equipment and should be able to repair on the spot! We do require a contract to be signed between us and the person(s) responsible for renting our photo booth.
Shelly: Do the photos actually print on-site?
Jake: They will print in 8 seconds AND they are waterproof! So if you spill a glass of water or someone decides to use your photo as a coaster you’re still good to go!
Shelly: What are my options as backdrops?
Jake: We have a curtain that is white on the inside of the booth and black on the outside! We have found that this helps us take the best quality photo! On that note, you can also opt to take down the curtain and use the landscape of Tranquility Hollow as your backdrop!
Shelly: What sets you apart from other photo booth companies in the area?
Jake: We offer 4 years of experience which may not seem like “a long time” but it actually makes us veterans of this type of business. We have 100% customer satisfaction and have taken THOUSANDS of photos over the span of hundreds of events! Also, our social media kiosk which no other photo booth in the state offers, helps set us apart from other companies like us. 

 
Call or E-mail “Excellence Photo Booths” to have them set-up at your next event at Tranquility Hollow! You know you can’t pass up something as fun as this!

What's going on in the Hollow



Spring Time
This week I got to spend some time out at Tranquility Hollow. I met my friend Alayna from Ruby Jewel Studio to show her around the place! I can’t wait to show you all some of her work out there, but until then here are some pictures that I snapped of all the hard work Lola and Bob have put into the place lately! The area around the pool is full of color and beautiful flowers (Not to mention the pool looked so inviting it was hard not to just jump right in)! Stay tuned for a little meet and greet with Shelly and Mark from The Dusty Pearls (music group) and a sneak peek of photos from Ruby Jewel Studios!
Call us TODAY to book YOUR next event! 

Progress as promised on the Seating Gallery!
Almost there!!

Can't you just picture your next party here?

Photos At The Hollow

So, I guess I need to introduce myself as well! I am Shelly Hendrix, the creator of the Tranquility Hollow blog! I met Bob and Lola not too long ago, and just fell head over heels in love with their property! In the same way nature "clicks" inside some of us, this place had that feeling from the second I drove up to the property! It surrounds you with it's peace and tranquility and doesn't let go! The country air helps clear your mind as you breathe in your surroundings, and your worries seem to just melt away! Now, I'm sure you all have seen the pictures and looked through all that this wonderful place has to offer, so now I want to share with you all our photography session we had out there!

Hugs & Smiles Photography, met with us (myself and my one and only, Dee Jay) at Tranquility Hollow on a chilly Spring morning! It was probably better that there was a bite in the air because we decked out in our camo/hunting/fishing gear (which can get quite warm) and walked around the property getting photos! We had an absolute blast climbing around through the woods, "fishing" off the bridge, and playing some guitar for each other!

If you are a photographer looking for a FANTASTIC place to have an outdoor session, or you might be looking to have your own pictures taken, this venue cannot be beat in my book!

Feel Free to contact Bob or Lola to book a session in their backyard with a licensed photographer!
